17. How To Create Your Own Wikipedia Page


Todd Mintz at Search Engine Guide Blog explains how you can add your knowledge to Wikipedia, the community generated online resource database. Read his article here on how to create your own Wikipedia page. It’s not difficult–I’ve tried it.

To create a new page you should use the Sandbox. It’s a place to play with your entry. When the preview is just right you can submit or save it. I’ve played in the Sandbox to create the entry for unzillowable but I’m waiting for some newspaper references before finalizing the page for recognition. So if you know anybody in media, see if they’d do an article on unzillowable. Then send me the link if they do.

TIP: Wikipedia is often a better than Google when researching a topic you want to blog about. Also use Technorati to see if other bloggers have covered the topic.
